JI 2 - Investing

"Leon, if Papa wants to invest in your company, may or may not?" hamdani asked Leon. He looked at his daughter-in-law closely.

Hamdani is currently visiting Leon's house. It just so happened that he did not have a climbing agenda, so he decided to meet his grandchildren. But, my grandson is taking a nap.

"By, Pa. It is possible," said Leon sparkling. He certainly would not refuse if his in-laws would invest. If the capital is more and more, it means the company can grow again.

"What's up, anyway? It seems like something exciting," said Arini who just came while carrying two orange juice. "Drink, Pa!" Arini put the glass she was carrying on the table.

Without waiting twice, Hamdani sipped the juice made by his son. "So, Rin. Papa intends to invest in Leon's company" said Hamdani while looking at his daughter.

Arini nodded her head. He did not speak first because he wanted to hear the continuation of his father's speech. It seems Hamdani still wants to continue his words.

"Actually Papa has been wanting since yesterday-yesterday. But you know, Papa just retired. So Papa has to save money. The severance must be used for basic needs. While the savings money that used to be, everything has gone into mutual funds, deposits and retirement savings. Well, yesterday, Papa's deposit can be withdrawn. So Papa already has money to invest in Leon's company," Hamdani said while scanning the view from Arini to Leon.

Arini and Leon nodded in understanding. They could understand what Hamdani was feeling. People who have retired should not be rash to use their money. Especially severance money. It is money that must be used wisely so that in the future it can survive.

"We are happy if we can get additional capital from Papa. We can develop our company again later," said Leon excitedly.

Now it's Sunday. The clock shows at two o'clock in the afternoon. When Hamdani came, Jasmine and Joseph were taking a nap. So they can't meet now.

"Tomorrow papa Monday to your office, huh?!" said Hamdani and embraced enthusiastically by the child and his son-in-law.

"Why don't you want to stay here?" ask Arini. "Tomorrow morning we can go to the office together," he continued.

"Papa must go home, Rin. Poor Aldi in his own house. Although he is an adult, but still Papa does not have the heart to leave him alone at home," said Hamdani while taking a glass of juice and drinking it back.

Arini nodded in understanding. His father always treated Aldi as a child. Although Aldi always refused and wanted to be treated normally, but his father never wanted to listen to his son's protest.

But it also makes Aldi never stay outside the house if there is no urgent need. Aldi only wants to stay outside if it's a work matter. He could not leave his father alone at home.

Actually, it's not just Aldi Hamdani like that. Before Arini married, Hamdani always treated Arini like a little girl. But after Arini married, Hamdani began to accept that his daughter was an adult.

"It's for the kids." Hamdani took out two foreign fairy tale books from his bag. One story from Japan, and another from Europe.

Arini received her father's gift with a sparkling look. Joseph and Jasmine loved to read. A simple gift like this alone can make both children happy. Arini agrees with the saying: happiness is simple.

"Papa must go home now" Hamdani said. He then finished the remaining juice.

"Well, what's the rush, Pa?" said Leon. "Don't wait for the kids to wake up?" continued.

"Today there's a meeting of stock winners at the Abadi Hotel" Hamdani said.

"Yes. Just follow what the company says. Papa is also flexible. Papa is already unemployed. So whenever it is, it doesn't matter" Hamdani said, chuckling. "Tomorrow at noon Papa played again here. Tell the kids to wait for his grandfather" he continued.

Arini and Leon then shake hands with Hamdani. Hamdani himself, after saying goodbye to his son and daughter-in-law, then went to the Abadi Hotel.

"I'm glad Papa wants to invest his money in our company" Leon said, typing something on his laptop.

"Yes, me too" said Arini, who was wearing night cream.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Jasmine and Joseph were asleep in bed. Leon was busy working beside Joseph. He sat down holding his laptop and leaning against the bed.

While Arini, he was wearing skincare before going to bed. Arini loved taking care of her body. One of them is wearing skincare like this.

Because the children were already sleeping, so they spoke in a very slow voice. They are afraid to disturb the night of sleep of the baby.

"What are you doing again?" arini asked without looking at her husband.

"I'm e-mailing the financial statements to Papa. So that you can learn from Papa. It's funny that Papa wants to invest in our company, but Papa doesn't know anything about corporate finance" Leon replied as he looked at his wife from the mirror.

"Why can you read the financial statements, huh?" arini asked while looking at Leon.

Leon chuckles. "You doubt Papa? Papa is a good investor, you know. Of course he can read the financial statements," he said.

Arini scratched her non-itchy nape. "But Papa uses mutual funds. If mutual funds are all affairs handled by a third party. Papa just take it easy. Read the financial statements of the company as third party. Not Papa," said Arini still trying to defend himself.

"Yes, Honey. It's true that Papa uses mutual funds. But Papa used individual stocks. Papa learned everything from the seminars. Including how to read financial statements," explained Leon.

"Kok you know more about Papa than I do" Arini said as he walked closer to the bed. After arriving, he threw himself in Jasmine's welcome.

"Hehe. Ordinary, fellow men are indeed more open," chuckled Leon while keeping his laptop in the nightstand drawer. The boy was right next to Leon's bed, so he didn't have to crawl to reach him.

"Hm... Gawk. Have a good night" Arini said, turning off the lights. And now the lighting in the room only uses sleeping lights.

"Good sleep, dear. Don't forget to do'a before going to bed" muttered Leon.

"Yes" said Arini.

No more talking between them. Shortly after, the two had already fallen asleep to dreamland. Smooth breath snoring indicates they are really asleep.
